Today & Tonight: Fog may become an issue during the early morning commute Wednesday as temperatures will fall very close to the dew point temperature, in the lower 70s, under clear skies and calm winds; the ideal set up for fog development.

Humidity remains, meaning it will feel a bit warmer than the actual temperatures displays and winds will remain fairly light.
Wednesday night, temperatures will fall back to the lower-70's under mostly clear skies, again raising the possibility of fog formation early Thursday morning.
Up Next: Rain chances become slim to none on Thursday and through the weekend as upper-level ridging takes over. Warmer air aloft will keep skies mainly sunny each day and allow temperature to warm into the low to middle 90s, a few degrees above average for this time of year. Feels-like temperatures will likely push 100 degrees each afternoon over the weekend. Saturday afternoon in Tiger Stadium looks to be a toasty one as LSU hosts UCLA.

Hot conditions will continue on Sunday, a.k.a. the first official day of Fall, and into next week. Although it won't feel like Autumn outside, a true sign that the new season is upon us will be spotted each evening when the sun sets before 7:00pm.
